ASTM D4052 Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, and API Gravity of Liquids by Digital Density Meter -- eLearning Course
About the Course
This test method covers the determination of the density, relative density, and API Gravity of petroleum distillates and viscous oils that can be handled in a normal fashion as liquids at the temperature of test, utilizing either manual or automated sample injection equipment.
The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify sampling requirements, especially those focused on maintaining sample integrity.
- Recognize the protocols that ensure the density analyzer is appropriately prepared and verified prior to test, with particular attention to instrument temperature settings.
- Recall the steps for determination of the density, relative density, and API Gravity of petroleum distillates and viscous oils utilizing either manual or automated sample injection equipment, and identify what factors can cause erroneous results.
- Describe how results are to be managed based on the number of determinations and when results are to be rejected when performing multiple determinations.
